Occasionally I reply that when I know why I'm in China, then I'll probably go home. 这个问题使我烦恼，因为我也不太清楚答案是什么。偶尔我会回答说，当我知道我为什么来中国的时候，那么我可能就会回家了。 One of the things that bothers me is that it is implied that the person wouldn't know why I came to China, as if they think coming here was a poor decision and are curious why I made it. This leads me to ponder, was it a poor decision? Thus it is something I'm constantly trying to define and decide for myself. 困扰我的事情之一就是，这暗示着人们不知道我为什么要来中国，好像他们认为来这里是个糟糕的决定，好奇我为什么会这么做。这使我深思，这确实是个糟糕的决定吗？因此这是某种我不断尝试为自己定义和决定的事情。 While there certainly is no definite answer, I am just curious to hear other people's thoughts on this question. Do you flippantly reply, or does it also make you question your life? 当然，这里没有明确的答案，我只是想听听别人对这个问题的看法。你会漫不经心地回答？或者它也让你质疑你的生活？ |
